DOPPEL-LAG-607
Silicone surfactant for aqueous coatings, printing inks and overprint varnishes with strong reduction in surface tension resulting in significantly improved substrate wetting. No increase in surface slip. Solvent-free version of LP-608
Product Data
Composition
Polyether-modified siloxane
Typical Properties
The values indicated in this data sheet describe typical properties and do not constitute specification limits.
Density (20 °C): 1.07g/ml
Active substance: 100 %
Special Note
Solvent-free version of Doppel-LAG-608. The additive requires a small amount of co-solvent in the formulation (approx. 5 % of the total solvent content) in order to avoid turbidity. The effectivity of the silicone surfactant is reduced in systems with higher co-solvent amounts. For these types of formulations we recommend the use of polysiloxanes such as LAG-606
Applications
Coatings and Printing Inks
Special Features and Benefits
The additive provides a large decrease in surface tension in aqueous systems and therefore improves substrate wetting and leveling in particular. Foam stabilization does not occur or only very minimally and recoatability is not affected. The additive does not increase surface slip. If higher surface slip is desired, we recommend combining it with a polysiloxane such as LAG-606
Recommended Use
The additive is recommended for all aqueous coatings, printing inks and overprint varnishes which contain a small proportion of organic co-solvent.
Recommended Levels
0.08-0.5 % additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
